New Orleans and the Bourbon St. Birthday Celebration

There are some required stops in New Orleans for a cook, or really anyone who likes to eat. First on the list was Cafe Du Monde for some Beignets and Cafe au Lait.


GO SAINTS!
Next was the Central Grocery Company, inventor of the Muffuleta, my all-time favorite sandwich!

And then there was more Muffuleta sampling at Butcher, Chef Donald Links charcuterie focused sandwich shop. An impressive improvement of the original I have to say.
Bourbon Street, there couldn't be a better place to celebrate my birthday!
Maridith "Megadeath" Hollis and I getting going with tequila shots at Tequila Rita's.
Lisa Marie, the wonderful photographer for the night.
So, this picture needs a bit of an explanation. Heading out for the night I was given about 30 bead necklaces by Lisa. I mainly used these to drunkenly throw at ladies on the street below, without much luck in the drunken-flasher-girl department, until this classy gal showed up. Notice her bare breasts, first of all, but then take a look at the two 10 or 11 year old boys on the street with her, staring quite openly. Not to mention their clueless parents who, after the pic was taken, hustled them both down the street as fast as they could. (what parent in their right mind brings their children out on Bourbon Street at 11:30 on a weekend night?!)
Things are starting to blur a little now....

AAAAnnnd pizza is one of the last of my memories from the night!
